"I gave him a chance, but he didn’t know how to cherish it. What about you all?" Li Xiu calmly said as he looked at the trembling Trial Takers.
One of the Trial Takers gazed upon the shattered Demon Armor and the corpses strewn across the ground, along with the demonic spirits that glead like evil ghosts, and suddenly broke down.
"I know where that girl is..."
The alloy door of the underground hidden room, as thick as a bank vault door, was directly sliced open by Li Xiu using the Ghost-faced Magic Armor. Inside, besides a locked girl, the vault contained so gemstones.
Ye Yuzhen hurriedly stepped forward to rescue the girl and asked if she was hard.
The girl was indeed very resilient and even turned around to comfort Ye Yuzhen.
Li Xiu took all the gemstones from the vault, brought back the Trial Takers to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Handing the Trial Takers over to Sha Chu for processing, just as Li Xiu was about to go rest, Ye Yuzhen brought Ye Xiyuan along and caught up.
"City Lord, my sister and I have discussed, and if you allow, my sister would also like to stay at the City Lord’s Mansion to work for you." Ye Yuzhen and his sister approached Li Xiu, and Ye Yuzhen said.
"I saved her in order to uphold Zhongshan City’s rules. You owe nothing." Li Xiu said, looking at Ye Yuzhen and Ye Xiyuan.
Ye Xiyuan was indeed very beautiful, the kind of beauty that was instantly morable.
"Precisely for this reason, we’ve decided to stay in Zhongshan City. We don’t need special treatnt, only that you give us a fair opportunity." Ye Yuzhen said with determination.
"Are you sure?" Li Xiu asked as he looked at the two of them.
"I’m certain." Ye Yuzhen replied without hesitation.
"And you? Are you sure? Are you voluntarily choosing to stay here?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the shy Ye Xiyuan.
Ye Xiyuan rarely interacted with strangers, and coupled with childhood shadows, she still appeared shy and introverted, unable to make eye contact with others despite being sixteen or seventeen.
"Wherever my brother is, that’s where I am." Despite her shyness, Ye Xiyuan said this with unusual firmness.
"Alright, then I’ll give you an opportunity. You have the talent of a Magic Armor Master, don’t you?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"Yes, her talent is quite good. I speculate she should have reached the level where she can activate and control A-grade Demon Armor." Ye Yuzhen said.
"You speculate? How are you speculating?" Li Xiu asked with so doubt.
Ye Yuzhen didn’t possess the talent of a Magic Armor Master, so how could he speculate Ye Xiyuan’s level unless she had undergone a professional Magic Armor Master test, in which case there would be no need for speculation.
Ye Yuzhen said sowhat reluctantly, "I couldn’t afford high-grade Demon Armor before, so I bought a set of E-grade armor for Xiyuan to practice with. Then, using techniques found online, I taught her so skills and gauged her level based on the difficulty of the skills she could complete."
"What skills has she learned?" Li Xiu asked with interest.
"Xiyuan, quickly demonstrate to the City Lord the skills you’ve learned. Stay calm; you can do it." As Ye Yuzhen helped Ye Xiyuan take out her set of E-grade Demon Armor, he encouraged her.
"I understand, brother." Ye Xiyuan nodded obediently, then donned the E-grade armor and began to showcase the skills she had learned.
Though Ye Xiyuan was such a timid girl, she seed sowhat different after putting on the armor.
Her movents in manipulating the armor were fluid and decisive, without a trace of hesitation.
As Li Xiu watched, his expression beca sowhat complex.
"Where did she learn these skills?" Li Xiu asked Ye Yuzhen beside him.
Ye Yuzhen said sowhat embarrassedly, "Due to certain reasons, I didn’t find her a Magic Armor Master for specialized learning but instead provided so materials for her to teach herself. She also likes to watch videos online and imitate them herself. Although the skills she learns are rather basic, she learns quickly, definitely has good talent...."
Ye Yuzhen was sowhat worried that Li Xiu might look down on Ye Xiyuan. These seemingly random techniques learned online appeared rather basic in his view.
Li Xiu looked at Ye Yuzhen, feeling as if this guy had so issues.
Most of the techniques Ye Xiyuan used were innovations created by Li Xiu himself.
Many seed simple, but they placed very high demands on Magic Armor Masters; so techniques, even S-grade Magic Armor Masters couldn’t perform as perfectly as Ye Xiyuan.
Knowing that Ye Xiyuan was controlling E-grade armor, how could such talent be considered rely good? It was simply extraordinary.
Li Xiu truly hadn’t anticipated that Ye Yuzhen had a sister with such exceptional talent as a Magic Armor Master.
Logically, being siblings, if one didn’t have the talent as a Magic Armor Master, then the other’s talent, even if present, wouldn’t be very strong.
Although Magic Armor Master talent isn’t entirely dependent on hereditary factors, it does have so connection to genetic inheritance.
"That’s enough. I need to ask her a few questions." Li Xiu said.
Ye Yuzhen hurriedly called Ye Xiyuan over. After deactivating her armor and carrying the Magic Armor Box, she ca to Ye Yuzhen’s side, standing shyly and unconsciously leaning slightly behind him.
